Quote: The "heart" of the team is the person who is inspirational. Even if Jesus wasn't the son of god he would still be Jesus with all his sermon onYou want someone that inspires people... Someone with no superpowers... Guts from Berserk comes to mind. Probably not what your looking for,
the mounts et al. Sailor Moon would still be an idealist. Nausicaa would still be Nausicaa.
though. He inspires through action and deed rather than speeches... those with superpowers also keep staring at him and are baffled on how he is still alive
at all. He inspires through being a Pillar of Strength and Stability.
So I would suggest as a serious candidate, GTO, Great Teacher Onizuka except for the not a combat heavy series (though there are notable action elements,
Standard Earth technically has plenty of action elements in it, just doesn't happen there)... Though he tends towards inspiring through being a real person
and brain frying people into preforming Cranial Rectal Deinsertion on themselves.
Well I could suggest any of a hoard of though Pillars of Innocence and Hope for a Brighter Future wandering around on warships in mecha shows. They
collectively inspire by being a sign of a possible brighter future. Though no annointed one status.
I think the thing that bugs me is the idea of Messianic' mattering for an inspirational 'Heart' of the team. Just too many possibilities for
apparently extremely inspiring, but devoid of substance people like say... a certain, high profile, political candidate I refer to as King Nothing.
Inspiration that comes only from the power of worship the 'anointed one' status is flawed and situations eventually degrade to the point of being
doomed. If being able to inspire people to do stuff is all it takes I suggest Jinnai from El Hazard. His only power was actually understanding what the hell
his troops were saying.
Lets go to Harem series were the male lead usually ends up as the Heart of the series by inspiring women into believing that their actually exists men who
actually aren't perverted scum. Which is apparently a tall order in Japan. There and in Australia where women are researching ways to breed withot men.
Not that they don't like men, they just hate their men.
Even Jesus, who was an anointed one and not thee anointed one, only really had two messages to share: 1) wouldn't it be great if people stopped being
'expletive deleted's to each other and were nice to each other for a change?, and his less popular with those in charge message 2) the Jewish
leadership are complete tools (of the Roman establishment). Its the second message that brought down the Hammer of Roman Justice on him. Jesus was not
inspirational for being Jesus. Jesus was inspiration for a reason. He offered a voice to the people and hope for a better world.
In short what is this Heart going to be inspiring people to do? Their late homework? Eat Babies? Fight evil and the Lovecraftian horrors of the multiverse?
Burn down an orphanage? Paint there toe nails? Clean the taint of group X from society? Start a fundraiser to build a temple to the Bacon Gods? Survive in
a Hell dimension? Train as ninja landscapers and sneak onto the property of badly maintain lawn and make them look nice? Overthrow the 'evil' world
government for its policies on weekends off work or defenestration people whoes name start with the same letter as the one that came up on a random dice roll
today.
Besides Jinnai I'd suggest Manga Excel Excel... who is literally capable of walking into a room and making a speach that whips people into a frenzy. I
still think your problem is you only half know what you want and are not giving yourself enough qualifiers. As it is King Nothing is what you think you want.
